Hotel Heaven

So I have arrived. 10hr flight with BA to Seattle. Babies on the row to the left of me, predicted by me after I booked the seats, luckily my earphones appear to knock out most of the sound. Allowing me to concentrate with watching "The Prestige", listening to my iPod and trying to get some sleep inbetween forcing yucky bits of airplane food down my throat. Seattle airport is a joke. Don't get me wrong, its modern, its American its fine, but the time taken to get your baggage seemed to take for ever and then next thing you have to give it back whilst you take a short mono-rail ride to another part of the airport where you have to wait all over again for the bags. Then to get a cab you have to walk back on yourself go up escalators, across a walk way to a car-park and then down some escalators (why could I not just cross the road).

This all may seem trivial but when you have just stepped of the plane, have been up for a long time, last thing I want to do is waste time. Cocktails are waiting for me at the Hotel.

Oh the Hotel!!!!
Oh Yeah Baby!!!!

Now I am not going to blow my own trumpet about where I have stayed historically. All I am going to say is this hotel is NICE!!!
Nice from a sense I am in the middle of an Amercian city where Hyatt's, Crown Plazza's and Hiltons are probaby de-rigour, but this hotel beats them easily.

Check-in - Have not got a room with Kingsize room ready, did I want 2 x Queen? No I will go to the bar and you tell me when I can go to the room. 4 Cocktails later. Room Ready!!

Room - Cisco IP phone, Sony 42" Plasma with on-deman Movies (yey snigger), bath to behold as no taps in bath (water exits from the ceiling in a straight beam of lit water) awesome shower a glass wall from the bathroom to the bedroom with a flick of the switch kicks in a motorised blind. Complimentary Wired magazine, free wifi, lush bed yada yada yada. You get the gig!! Its nice. Asian styling with the American plushness. Its not quite the Asian Zen I you could have as its got the touch of brash American money! But it works for me.

Hmmm hungry now. Room service.
